The wonderful team over at Etsy recently invited me to guest blog some of my favorite real weddings I’ve featured in the past on Once Wed. Etsy is such a wonderful resource for a planning your wedding, and I’m always blown away by the variety of handmade goods and vintage pieces available. The post went live today, and I couldn’t be more excited. To check it out, head on over to Etsy’s awesome blog, The Storque. Thanks again, Etsy!
These custom wood banners from baumbirdy would like great in desserts, centerpieces, favors, etc.
The infamous flower garlands from The Free Wedding which are made by dolciodille.
Oh, and this adorable bow tie from xoelle which I wish I could convince my husband to wear.
The lovely ladies behind Bird and Banner were kind enough to send over an adorable DIY for me to share with you this morning on Once Wed. Erin and Nicole are brilliant when it comes to anything paper, so I hope you enjoy this little project as much as I did…
I’ve always loved these little Scandinavian heart baskets that my friend taught me to make years ago. They are traditionally made and used at Christmas time in Denmark. I made a woven heart out of my wedding invitations as a gift to my husband on our first anniversary. We wanted to follow the tradition of giving paper, plus we had a bunch of leftover invites! You can make these out of any paper ephemera from the wedding, it just need to be large enough to fold over and fit the template. Heavy card stock can be difficult, but you could make a color copy on to nice paper if your invitations are too thick. These little hearts have so many uses. They could be incorporated them into your wedding favors, table decor, or escort cards. They also make beautiful holders for small gifts. To read more about this project, click “more” below.

How delightful is this wedding Chelsea posted yesterday on Frolic? I thought the bride, Cheri, did such a wonderful job decorating their reception tent. I especially loved their whimsical wedding cake. Be sure to check out the rest of this wedding on the bride’s lovely blog, Scout Holiday…

I couldn’t resist starting the day without sharing this beautiful inspiration board created by the talented, Elizabeth Demos. Liz is the lovely owner behind the amazing store, @Home, so I was thrilled to recently read on her blog she was starting her own event design company. From the teaser board above, I can’t wait to see what she has in store for all of us…
Anna Wolf is an incredible fashion and documentary photographer, so when she emailed me last Friday letting me know she was beginning to shoot more weddings I couldn’t wait to share some of images she sent over(you might remember her as the photographer from Erica’s Jamaican wedding below). If you haven’t had the chance to check out Anna’s work before, I would highly suggest clicking on over to her site to see more.
